Barbara Mann (she/her) is the inaugural Stephen H. Hoffman Professor of Hebrew at Case Western Reserve University. Her areas of expertise include literary studies, critical theory, and modern Jewish cultures; her interdisciplinary scholarship has analyzed the relation between space, memory, and cultural representation. Mann has lectured widely in the United States, Europe, and Israel. She received her doctorate in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Berkeley, and has previously taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York and in the Near Eastern Studies Department at Princeton University.
Mann’s literary interests have been complimented in recent years by a hands-on engagement with material culture, and book and print making. These practices are an integral part of her teaching and scholarship, including creating “zines” with undergraduates and encountering “Jewish stuff” in archival settings. When she’s not in the classroom or the archives, she enjoys finding new places to drink coffee and practice yoga in Cleveland and other cities. |
